Rutgers recruit Erica Wheeler earns McDonald's All-American honors

Rutgers will add another McDonald's All American next season when point guard Erica Wheeler comes to town. Wheeler, who earned the honor Wednesday night, will participate in the All-Star game April 1 at the University of Miami.

The 5-7 Wheeler will be reunited with Parkway Academy (Miramar, Fla.) teammate Chelsey Lee next season. The duo led the school to their first state title last year.

Wheeler, rated the No. 5 point guard by ESPN Hoopgurlz scouting service, is averaging 21 points and five assists this season.

The Scarlet Knights currently have seven McDonald's All Americans on their roster.
